I am experiencing a variant of this, but it seems to be the same bug: I installed terminator. when launching terminator from gnome-shell, SSH_AUTH_SOCK has a value of the form /tmp/keyring-xxxxxx/ssh (this is normal since I commented "use-ssh-agent" in /etc/X11/Xsession.options.
But when launching terminator via a custom shortcut, SSH_AUTH_SOCK is not defined (By the way, I am using Natty) ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #713955 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713955 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/839444 Title: Gnome uses two different ssh agents depending on how program is launched To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/839444/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
